December 2024 Paper Pumpkin Alternative: Notes from the Heart
Welcome to our monthly “A Paper Pumpkin Thing” blog hop! Check out this month's Paper Pumpkin alternatives that we created and scroll down to join us on a blog hop to see what our creative friends have made with the contents of the December 2024 Notes from the Heart Paper Pumpkin kit. Registration for the next Paper Pumpkin is closing on the tenth of this month so make sure you sign up so you don't miss out on the creativity that is literally delivered to your front door.
For this kit, we created a small treat box and matching card! For the card, we used Blackberry Bliss Cardstock for the card base and followed the score lines provided below. We then adhered the layers of Bubble Bath Cardstock and the Everyday Skies Designer Series Paper (DSP). For the inner layer, we also used Blackberry Bliss for the base and adhered layers of Bubble Bath Cardstock and the same DSP. To decorate the card, we used the flowers and berries provided in the Paper Pumpkin kit. The the sentiment is also stamped in Blackberry Bliss ink.
The box is big enough to fit those adorable mini Ghiradelli Chocolates! We made it out of the Everyday Skies DSP; Note, when you score DSP, you want to make sure you're scoring very lightly as the paper is thinner than cardstock. We decorated the box using items from the Paper Pumpkin kit.
Create heartfelt cards for Valentine’s Day, Galentine’s Day, and beyond!

What's Paper Pumpkin?
Paper Pumpkin is the perfect way to jump into the world of paper crafting and get your creative “me-time” every month. Each month, we deliver all the stamps, ink, and paper you need to create a fun project, without any stress. Everything is precut and ready to go so you can skip to the fun part of crafting! Our subscribers always have cards and cute gifts on hand for every occasion. Your first kit includes a free gift from us—a clear stamping block. You’ll also build a collection of stamps and ink to use on other projects. There’s no pressure—you can cancel or suspend at any time.
Every kit includes an exclusive stamp set, ink spot, and embellishments to create a predesigned project. At least six times a year, we send an all card kit with eight or more cards. Sometimes the kit includes cards plus gift bags, banners, treat bags, or boxes. Other times, it’s home décor, giftables, or just treat packaging. No matter what it is—we promise you’ll love it, or we’ll make it right!
